What is High-Vibrational Living?
Have you heard the term ‘high-vibrational living’ and wondered what it’s about? I’ve been on this journey for a while now, and wow, once you become aware of this way of living, it’s impossible to go back.
For me, it hasn’t been a linear process, I’ve dipped in and out of it many times over the past few years.
When I first heard about “high-vibrational living,” I’ll admit, it sounded like the latest buzzword in the manifestation world. But as I started to explore it, I realized there is some substance to it.
I had to take myself off autopilot and become mindful of all areas of my life.
What Is Vibrational Energy? Understanding Frequency + Alignment
So, what exactly is vibrational energy? At its core, it’s the idea that everything in the universe – including us – is made up of energy that vibrates at different frequencies. High-vibrational living is about raising your energy frequency to align with more positive experiences and emotions.
I’m not that good at explaining science, so here is a very basic explanation…everything is in constant motion at a molecular level. Even seemingly solid objects are vibrating at a specific frequency. It’s just that most of the time, we can’t perceive these vibrations with our limited human senses.
Our thoughts and emotions also have their own vibrational frequencies. Positive emotions like love, joy, and gratitude vibrate at higher frequencies, while negative emotions like fear, anger, and jealousy vibrate at lower frequencies.
If you want to learn more about this, watch anything by Dr Joe Dispenza who studies and teaches neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics.
We attract things into our lives that are on a similar frequency – this is the basis of the law of attraction. The things we usually want to come into our lives live on a higher frequency, so that is what we want to match.
When I first learned about this, it instantly made sense. All those times I’d felt “off” or surrounded by negativity had to do with energy. I was operating at a lower frequency.
But it’s important to realize – high-vibrational living isn’t just about feeling good. It can have a profound impact on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I’ve experienced it firsthand.
There have been times when I was stuck in a rut, feeling stressed, anxious, and unmotivated constantly. Everything in my life felt ‘heavy’ and like I was wading through thick mud.
Then I make it a priority to incorporate high-vibrational practices into my daily routine. Meditation, gratitude journaling, spending time in nature – these simple acts began to shift my energy.
And after a while, I notice changes. My apathy lifted, I was sleeping better, and I felt more optimistic. It was like I’d tapped into a wellspring of vitality I didn’t know existed.
It’s Not All About Being High-Vibe
But there are some caveats here. First off, high-vibrational living isn’t about being happy all the time. That’s just not realistic. We’re human, and we’re going to experience a full range of emotions. In fact, we have to. It’s called contrast.
The goal is to raise your baseline frequency and learn to return to it more quickly when life throws you curveballs.
Another myth is that you need to completely overhaul your life to live at a high vibration. Nope! Small, consistent changes can make a big difference. It’s not about perfection, it’s about progress.
And just in case it’s not already obvious – high-vibrational living isn’t a substitute for medical care or mental health treatment. It’s a complementary practice that can enhance your overall well-being, but it’s not a cure-all.
I know what you may be thinking, “This all sounds great, but how do I actually raise my vibration?” Here are a few things that have worked for me:
- Practice gratitude daily. Even on tough days, find something to appreciate.
- Surround yourself with positive people. Your environment affects your energy more than you might think.
- Eat clean, whole foods. What you put in your body affects your vibrational frequency.
- Spend time in nature. The natural world vibrates at a high frequency, and you can absorb some of that energy.
- Meditate or practice mindfulness. This helps you become more aware of your own energy and how to shift it.
Remember, high-vibrational living is a journey, not a destination. There will be ups and downs, and that’s okay. The key is to keep coming back to practices that elevate your energy and make you feel more alive.
Vibration can be experienced as the emotional, energetic, or mental state of a person, the ambiance of a place, the energetics of an object, experience, or environment, and the energetics of everything we consume.
Lalah Deliah
Vibrations are communicated, felt, transmitted, and transferrable.
Vibrations empower us or disempower us.
High vibrations inspire us, move us, nurture us, heal us, and put us at ease; they are a supporting force. With low vibrations, we can experience doubtfulness, worry, blockages, sickness, perceived defeat, powerlessness, and imbalance. When you choose a higher vibration versus a lower one, you’re taking your power back, elevating your life, and evolving.
When vibrating higher, you live in accordance with your higher potential and reality; when vibrating low, you move away from them; this is why working with vibration and taking care of your vibrational state matters.
Vibration is the essence of all things.
Signs You’re Living at a Low Vibration
When you know the signs and can recognize that you’re living at a low vibration, you can start turning things around.
First off, let’s talk about the physical symptoms. It has taken me a while to tune into what my body is telling me.
I feel constantly tired, like drag-yourself-out-of-bed-and-still-feel-exhausted tired. No matter how much I sleep, I never feel rested.
I just feel sluggish in general, and my mind starts thinking that I just need to fix my diet or take supplements to boost my energy.
Low-vibration energy really shows itself when it comes to emotional and mental health. I find myself feeling irritable and snapping at people for no good reason. Little things that normally wouldn’t bother me suddenly felt like the end of the world.
I get all the feels. I feel sad, and that I’m not achieving what I want to in my life. I doubt myself, and that my intention to live my best life will never come to pass. I feel lonely and unlovable. It’s exhausting!
Depression can also rear its ugly head when you’re in a low vibrational state. I’m not talking about clinical depression here (that’s a whole different ballgame and requires professional help), but more of a persistent low mood and lack of joy in things you used to love.
One of the biggest red flags for me is my complete lack of motivation. The drive and inspiration that I usually have disappears, and I find myself sitting on the couch watching season after season of Real Housewives. Which I love btw, but not every single night!
This all can then start to seep into your relationships and daily life. When you’re constantly irritable, anxious, and lacking energy, it’s going to affect how you interact with others.
When you’re caught in this cycle, it can be hard to see a way out. You start to believe that this is just how life is, that you’re destined to feel this way forever. But that’s the low-vibration talking, I promise you.
So, how do you break out of this cycle? The first step is awareness. By recognizing these signs in yourself, you’re already on the path to raising your vibration.
Look at the 5 tips above on how to raise your vibration. They may seem small, but they really can work.
raising your vibration is a process. It doesn’t happen overnight, and there will be ups and downs. But trust me, the effort is worth it. Once you start living at a higher vibration, you’ll start to feel joy and inspiration again, which will start to feed off itself.
Benefits of High-Vibrational Living
So, what are the benefits of high-vibrational living? Honestly, when I first started this journey, I had no idea just how much it would change my life.
From the first time I heard about it, I was really drawn to learning about manifestation, the law of attraction, and frequencies. It ties in with becoming more spiritually aware and tapping into the natural energy surrounding us.
First up, let’s talk about physical health. Now, I’m no spring chicken, but I felt like I could feel healthier and more energetic, rather than feeling like all the energy had been sucked out of my body.
This was a big thing for me. It helped me want to start to understand energetics.
How Raising Your Vibration Attracts Positive People + Opportunities
I started to become aware of what was draining my energy, and what was giving me energy.
This comes into play when you think about relationships. When you’re vibrating at a higher frequency, you become a magnet for positive people and experiences.
Then there are those people that leave you feeling drained after interacting with them. I bet everyone can think of a time this has happened to them.
My mental clarity improved. As I raised my vibration, it was like someone hit the refresh button on my brain. I could concentrate for longer periods without getting distracted.
But the most important thing was that I started having these “aha!” moments where creative solutions would pop into my head. Even decision-making became easier.
I used to struggle with setting boundaries (and still do) and would often end up in one-sided friendships. But as worked on keeping a higher frequency, I found myself attracting people who respected my time and energy.
Synchronicity
This all sits nicely with the universal energy of synchronicity. This is where ‘coincidences’ begin to happen. You now start to co-create your life with the Universe.
I remember one day contemplating whether I should go and get reiki from a practitioner (named Estelle) that a friend had recommended to me. I went for a walk around my local shopping center and went into a department store. As I was ascending on the travelator to the women’s clothing section, a glowing neon sign with the name ‘Estelle’ came into view! I had never heard of this designer or brand that was now in lights in front of me, and I haven’t heard of them since. But I took it as a sign to book my session with the Reiki practitioner.
Purpose + Connection
We also need to touch on purpose and connection. This one’s a bit more abstract, it’s more of a sense that everything is as it should be. When you’re living at a high vibration, you start to feel more connected to… well, everything. It’s like you can see the invisible threads that connect us all.
When I’m operating from a low vibration, I feel a bit lost, like I’m just going through the motions of life without any real direction. But when I raise my vibration, I start to get these little nudges from the universe. Suddenly, I feel drawn to do things that fill my creative cup.
Now, of course, this is not something that happens overnight, but you might find yourself more open to new experiences, more in tune with your intuition, and more willing to take inspired action.
So, these are the benefits of high-vibrational living in a nutshell. Better health to improved relationships to a deeper sense of purpose. And just know, anyone can do this. It takes practice and patience, but the rewards are so worth it.
It’s not about being perfect. We all have our off days, and that’s okay. The key is to keep coming back to those high-vibe practices, even when (especially when) life gets tough.

Creating a High-Vibrational Environment
Creating a high-vibrational environment is an amazing way to lift your energy and positively impact your well-being.
Over the years, I’ve learned that our surroundings play a crucial role in maintaining positive energy. Let me share some insights I’ve gained while turning my own space into a high-vibrational sanctuary.
Flow + Feeling
When it comes to designing a harmonious living space, the key is to focus on flow and feeling rather than perfection. Start with decluttering – a process that, while challenging, can be incredibly liberating. Channel Marie Kondo, and ask yourself whether each item brings joy or serves a purpose. This simple question can guide you in creating a space that truly resonates with your energy.
Feng Shui teaches us to consider the layout of your rooms. Is there easy movement throughout the space? Does the energy flow freely? Rearranging furniture can have a surprising impact on how a room feels. It may take some experimentation, but when you find the right configuration, you’ll notice an immediate difference in the atmosphere.
Color
Colors, light, and sound are powerful tools in elevating the energy of your environment. Choose colors that evoke positive emotions for you. Soft blues and greens can create a calming effect, while warm yellows can infuse a space with cheerful energy.
Fun fact – there is a category of psychology known as color psychology that deals with how colors influence human behavior, emotions, and perceptions. Color psychology explores how different colors can impact feelings and moods, and it is used in various fields, including marketing, design, art, and therapy.
Lighting
Lighting is important in setting the mood. Opt for warm, dimmable lights to create a cozy ambiance. Consider incorporating elements like Himalayan salt lamps, which not only provide a soft glow but are also believed to have air-purifying properties.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s just me being a highly sensitive person (HSP), but I find bright fluorescent lights jarring and much prefer natural light. Unfortunately, I work in an office two days a week, so it’s something I have to deal with. But I try to offset this by bringing in other natural elements as much as I can, as well as going for regular walks outside.
Sound
Sound can also influence the energy of a space. Wind chimes, singing bowls, or small indoor fountains can introduce soothing natural sounds. Creating a playlist of uplifting music can also be an effective way to elevate the vibration of your environment.
Calming music is often associated with certain frequencies that are believed to have a soothing effect on the mind and body. One commonly cited frequency for calming music is 432 Hz. You can find playlists in this frequency on YouTube and Spotify.
Natural Elements
Incorporating plants and natural elements is one of the most effective ways to raise the energy of your space. Indoor plants not only purify the air but also bring vibrant, living energy into your home. Start with low-maintenance plants if you’re new to gardening, and gradually expand your indoor garden as you nurture your green thumb.
Other natural elements like wooden furniture, crystals, or decorative stones can help ground the space and reinforce our connection to nature. These elements serve as reminders of the natural world, even in urban environments.
Tech-free Zones
In our digital age, creating tech-free zones has become so important to maintain a high-vibrational environment. Consider designating certain areas, such as the bedroom, as no-phone zones.
Creating a cozy, tech-free corner in your home can provide a dedicated space for recharging and reconnecting with yourself. Fill this area with comfortable seating, inspiring books, or anything that makes you feel happy.
Don’t underestimate the power of a good sage smudging! While it may seem weird to some people, I definitely find that it helps clear stagnant energy from my space.
Overcoming Challenges in High-Vibrational Living
It’s important to know that there are challenges to high-vibrational living. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, and I’ve had my fair share of stumbles along the way.
And it is an ongoing process that needs attention along the way. As humans, we spend 95% of our lives on autopilot. High-vibrational living is about being intentional with how we operate, and that takes practice.
Protect Your Boundaries
First up, dealing with negative people and energy vampires. We’ve all got them in our lives. They will always be around, so it’s up to us to protect our energy and learn the power of boundaries. It’s okay to limit your time with people who constantly bring negative vibes. I’ve learned to choose who I let into my life and whether they are someone I spend lots of time with or someone I interact with in small doses.
Challenges + Setbacks
Now, maintaining high vibrations during stressful times – that’s a tough one. Life happens, and sometimes it feels like everything’s going sideways. Honestly, you can’t be in a high-vibrational state all the time. Life is challenging at times. But I find that sticking to my high-vibe routines, even in a simplified form, helps me stay grounded. A five-minute meditation or a quick gratitude list can be a lifesaver sometimes.
Bouncing back from setbacks and low moments is part of the journey. We all have days when we fall into old patterns or negative thinking. The key is to show compassion to yourself. I’ve learned to treat these moments as learning opportunities. When I catch myself spiraling, I pause and ask, “What’s this trying to teach me?” It’s not always easy, but it helps shift my perspective.
Infuse Your Life With Spirituality
Balancing spiritual growth with practical responsibilities – yes, it can be done! I used to think I had to choose between being “spiritual” and being successful in the material world. But that’s a false dichotomy. The trick is to infuse your daily tasks with mindfulness and purpose. Even something as mundane as doing the dishes can be a meditation if you approach it with the right mindset.
Lead By Example
Addressing skepticism is something we all face on this journey. Maybe it’s from friends, family, or even that little voice in your head. I’ve found that the best approach is to lead by example. When people see the positive changes in your life, they get curious. And if they don’t? Well, that’s okay too. Your journey is for you, not for anyone else’s approval.
Trust The Process
Staying committed to your journey can be challenging when life gets busy or results seem slow. I’ve had many moments where I wondered if it was all worth it. But I’ve learned to trust the process. Keeping a journal of my progress has been super helpful. When I look back and see how far I’ve come, it reignites my motivation. And I can also see where things have stayed pretty much exactly the same.
Another challenge I’ve faced is the false idea that I need to always be “positive.” But that’s not what high-vibrational living is about. It’s about being authentic and processing all your emotions in a healthy way. Sometimes, you need to sit with the tough feelings to move through them.
Lastly, remember that this journey is unique to you. What works for someone else might not work for you, and that’s okay. Trust your intuition and be willing to adapt your practices as you grow.
High-vibrational living isn’t about being perfect. It’s about making consistent choices that align with your highest good. Some days you’ll nail it, other days you’ll struggle. And that’s perfectly okay.
Embracing high-vibrational living is more than just a trend – it’s a transformative approach to life that can unlock your true potential and bring you closer to your highest self. By implementing the techniques and principles we’ve explored, you’re setting yourself up for a more joyful, purposeful, and harmonious existence. Remember, raising your vibration is a journey, not a destination. Be patient with yourself, celebrate small victories, and watch as your life begins to shift in amazing ways.
